Sorry -- It Wasn't Me

Based on all the NDR's received in the last hour, it's apparently my turn to have an email address spoofed and used to send out crap spam.

Sorry -- it was neither me nor my machine.

Looks like the one example below came through:

1) An open MTA relay in Barcelona, Spain (84.77.221.194)

2) Via a what was claimed to be a Saudi Arabian registered domain (odcqcngjocqxmidqclbfogqwi [DOT] twarn [DOT] com/sendmail [DOT] php)

3) Which may or may not be hosted out of Haarlem, Netherlands via 94.75.242.21

But the subdomain does not resolve, so the parent domain was probably spoofed as well. Not that it matters anyway as whoever is sending out this crap is probably using some automated script and long list of open email relays all over the world.

Good times. . .

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

no@[MASKED]

Technical details of permanent failure:
[MASKED] tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 : invalid address (state 13).
